Contrails. Do they ruin photos or enhance them? White Edge in the Peak District is close to the flight path for Manchester, so it's usual to see these scratches in the Blue (it's not usual to see the Blue, but don't get me started on English weather). I'm not sure that they're pretty, and there are environmental implications, but they do set me wondering. Wondering about where the people on board have been. Wondering where they are going. Wondering how many weeks until my next holiday... In this image I think the contrails add interest and declare "open skies" in response to the open landscape below.
